As many of you know 192 of Durham's most vulnerable seniors where made homeless yesterday after a fire ravaged Fairview Lodge in Whitby. The new facility being built adjacent to this property was originally to be completed in September of this year, but due to delays will not be ready till January 2015.
The staff and residents have been dispersed throughout Durham and are being warehoused in facilities that are already at or over capacity. Our City, Regional and Provincial Governments need to respond by having construction crews working around the clock to finish their new home so these seniors can be returned to living conditions that we would all want for our loved ones.
Many residents are scared and confused and all they owned in the world is gone. Please help today by:

As a staff member of FVL, I just want to say please hurry on our new home! It's hard to be away from all of our residents! We miss them and want to be back together again!
this project is long over due. Bondfield should be held accountable to our vulnerable seniors and their lack of committment to this project should reflect bids for upcoming tenders. A company such as this should not be permitted to bid on other projects until such time of completion of oustanding projects. Where is the accountability and what are the penalties, other than those being forced on residents and staff of Fairview Lodge?
STOP making it about money! Make it a priority to get our seniors back home where they deserve to be! Anything else is unacceptable.
April? That is ridiculous! What happened to the "must be finished by December 31, 2014 for the grant money. Right...now April???
this will fill all nursing home beds for 6 months. what will the people on the waiting lists do? finished the home now before christmas.
Not acceptable!
This is totally disgusting.

This is disgusting! These seniors deserve better at this point in their life! They are the ones we can thank for where we are now, and this is what they have to live with now? I'm sure if the owner/ operator's mother or father was one of the residents things would be different. This is not personal to them so delaying this job is actually just that....a job:( so sad
